I collaborated with Unite for Literacy to create several books for tribal communities. One is titled, Upside Down Emotions, which explains how many families know when someone in the family is expecting. The effort is to help get 100 books in tribal families houses.

@DanielVandever We love this book! Here's the link: uniteforliteracy.com/first100/home/… And the link to the entire first 100 library: first100books.org/booksforearlyr…
